Had mine since October of '07. Last spring someone crashed into my rear bumper when I was parked at a stop sign. Was just a replacement of the bumper so not a big deall. Crashed into a wall in October when a deer jumped out. Scraped the front fender both right wheels rear quarter panel, headlight leaked and control arms got messed up and sway bar hub etc. All said and done I payed like 1200 out of pocket for rental fees and wheels and all. Insurance covered like 11 grand or something. Looked like such slight damage too. Painted almost whole car though. Whole right side, hood, mirror, rear trunk and spoiler both bumpers. Just need left door and fenders painted to be brand new paint job.

 

3 months: Hit racoon going 65 mph at night. New bumper.
8 months: Lady in a Aztec too busy looking for a yard sale to notice the stop sign ahead. $7500 in damage to left front.
1.5 years(a): Driving down interstate & a 8" long bolt flew into my a/c condenser.
1.5 years(b): 10" long ding in my passenger door from someone whipping open their door into mine. Naturally they left without leaving a note.
2 years(Now): I drive it like I don't care about it. You'll get to this stage of ownership sooner or later.

 

i would of kicked my self in the ass over and over again

 

I had it for about 5 years before some woman backed a huge pickup truck into the back of her. Fortunately, just a tiny scuff that was taken out.

 

3 months before i got compression issues >.<

 

14 months and I get rear ended
Time to get that AP1 bumper I always wanted

 

6 months in my top was torn big in 6 places. It was late fall and getting cold so I couldn't drive the car till I got a new top. Bought a top from an aftermarket dealer and it was cut too wide, didn't fit...couldn't get a return authorization for two weeks. Took a total of 6 weeks to redo my top.

5 months later a tire hit my front lip at 80mph on the freeway. Didn't stop till I got to work (15 miles to go). When I got there the lip fell off, I backed up over it, then it snagged and pulled out my mud flap and a chunk of tire lining, lol. It was really funny when I got out to look at it. I couldn't believe how dumb it must have looked.

 

On the way to the Florida Supermeet a piece of tire tread flew up and scratched up my fender/hood pretty badly (down to the metal in several places). Other than that, nothing.

Edit: Oh and I've had the car for about 6 months...

 

i scraped on my driveway when i first brought it home lol

 

7 years and change, car doesn't have a ding, scratch or anything. (Knocking on wood.)
One bulls eye in the windshield, repaired, happened during year 1.
And yes, I do drive this car! Had it around the USA, and back & forth through Canada. Also worked as my daily ride for 4 years in Cali.
